Offense is about creating opportunities for yourself and your teammates.

Shooting spaces the floor and in theory makes it easier for penetration.

Guys that can shoot but can’t create are dependent on others for offense.

If the creators in that system can’t create or more importantly if defenses don’t help to the point of creating opportunities for dependent shooters, then the offense really bogs down.

You don’t need to have all stars. Shooting is obviously valuable. But there are other offensive skills as well.

You are describing Rajon Rando and Evan Turner. Bother of whom killed their teams in the series they lost. Can you give me an example of a player that you’re talking about that doesn’t kill his team?

Rondo didn’t kill his team - they got beat by a better team.

Marcus Smart fits my description

The Pelicans scored 95 points per 100 possessions with Rondo on the court. An abysmal number. The worst of all their starters. Golden State is better, that doesn’t mean Rondo didn’t hurt them. He was one of the biggest reasons why.

I love Smart, dude, but he’s going to get 15+ million a season this off season. That’s for a guy that shoots 36% from the field. The reason why is because there aren’t many guys like him. Ariza and Tucker cost a combined 15 million this season.
